Dokan Lite [dokan_best_selling_product_per_page] Shortcode

The Dokan-Lite plugin shortcode is designed to render a list of best-selling products. It uses the ‘dokan_best_selling_product_per_page’ filter to determine the number of products to display, and accepts ‘no_of_product’ and ‘seller_id’ as parameters. It then generates a query to fetch the best selling products based on these parameters. The shortcode starts an output buffer, iterates through the query results, and for each post, it gets the ‘content-product’ template part. After the loop, it resets the post data and returns the buffered output.

Shortcode: [render_shortcode]

Parameters

Here is a list of all possible render_shortcode shortcode parameters and attributes:

• no_of_product – defines the number of best selling products to display.
• seller_id – specifies the ID of the seller whose products are displayed.

Examples and Usage

Basic example – A simple usage of the shortcode to display the eight best selling products from a specific seller. Here, ‘seller_id’ is the unique identifier of the seller.

[dokan_best_selling_products no_of_product=8 seller_id=123 /]

Advanced examples

Using the shortcode to display the top five best selling products. If ‘seller_id’ is not provided, the shortcode will return the top selling products from all sellers.

[dokan_best_selling_products no_of_product=5 /]

Using the shortcode to display the top ten best selling products from a specific seller. Here, ‘seller_id’ is the unique identifier of the seller.

[dokan_best_selling_products no_of_product=10 seller_id=456 /]

These examples demonstrate the versatility of the dokan_best_selling_products shortcode. You can adjust the ‘no_of_product’ and ‘seller_id’ attributes to customize the output to your specific needs.
